We popped by to see them yesterday. Lots of vehicles parked on the road having a look, but the swans don't seem to notice at all. Some idiot let their dogs out to go for a paddle in the pond though, stupid people. Thankfully the dogs didn't harass the swans, but still!Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08592184037513559644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1315509519261683441.post-12848366562748936702021-04-11T18:36:02.593-04:002021-04-11T18:36:02.593-04:00What a treat to see them nesting too.
